Your essential introduction to managing cybersecurity risks

Precarious Futures: Crime, Technology and the Web
 explores rapidly changing social relationships within an increasingly interconnected digital world. Challenging conventional understandings of cybercrime and questioning the continued adequacy of established criminological frameworks, it argues, inter alia, that relative deprivation, reworked as a form of post-industrial precarity, provides a powerful foundation for understanding crime and deviance in a hyper-connected, hyper-commercial neoliberal society. Drawing on empirical research, social theory, and contemporary debates on artificial intelligence, big data, surveillance, hacktivism, and digital power, the book examines how the Web has transformed opportunities for crime while reshaping the practices of governance and prediction. In doing so, Hamerton and Webber advance new theoretical models: temporal relative deprivation; the metaopticon; techniques of normalisation; and the precariousness of predictive systems, to explain the dynamics of crime and social control in an age of pervasive surveillance and artificial general intelligence. 
 Precarious Futures
 advances a transdisciplinary critical digital criminology for understanding the uncertainties of the digital age. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of criminology and sociology, as well as researchers and practitioners in cyber security, computer science, artificial intelligence studies, and related fields.
 Christopher Hamerton
 is Programme Director in Criminology and Law at the School of Policy &amp; Global Affairs, City St Georges, University of London, UK.
 Craig Webber
 is Associate Professor in Criminology in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology at the University of Southampton, UK.

Precarious Futures
 &nbsp;explores the evolving and emerging relationship between crime and technology in an increasingly complex and interconnected world, along with its implications for new perceptions of crime and deviance. It evaluates the rise of the World Wide Web and the model of cybercrime, questions whether existing criminological thought offers relevance and efficacy in current circumstances, conditions and future predictions, and revisits the concept of Relative Deprivation and&nbsp;the underpinning social psychological and socio-political foundations of it. It argues that&nbsp;Relative Deprivation&nbsp;allied to post-industrial precarity provides a central platform for understanding crime and deviance in a hyper-connected and hyper-commercial neoliberal world.&nbsp;The book develops to explore current criminological and security conceptions of artificial intelligence, big data, crime and social control, as well as hacktivism, and how opportunities for crime have become‘democratised’ and expanded through the Web. Drawing&nbsp;on empirical data, theoretical narratives and a review of the state of crime now and in a speculative near future, Hamerton and Webber discuss some potential directions for a new transdisciplinary critical criminology.&nbsp;
 Precarious Futures
 &nbsp;speaks to&nbsp;criminologists, sociologists and social theory scholars and students, as well as academics and professionals in associated technological fields such as cyber-security, computer science and web science.

Crime, Technology and the Web

Precarious Futures

Two of the world's leading researchers on behavior and decision-making join forces to equip readers with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to live our best, most human lives in an age of machines. “The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous.” —E.O WilsonOur choices and experience of the world are increasingly shaped by powerful interests and godlike technology. Somebody else is deciding what ‘good’ choices look like—and often that means good for them, not for you. From the social media apps hijacking your attention and algorithms quietly curating your reality, to the markets profiting from confusion and AI systems slowly eroding your thinking: your choices are shaped by people who understand your psychology better than you do, and use that knowledge for their own ends. Against this backdrop, it is easy to feel diminished and 'done to'.This book is about fighting back—individually and collectively—and becoming the best of ourselves. Becoming super-humans. Drawing on over 1,000 experiments run across more than 70 countries, Halpern and Costa show how you can boost your own agency and decision-making, how we can upgrade our systems and institutions so that it is easier for everyone to choose well, and how we can shape AI so that it amplifies human capability rather than replacing it.Super-Human ultimately asks us to make the biggest choice of all: in an age when machines can think, decide and even feel on our behalf—what kind of humans do we want to be? <ul><li>Human. Reclaiming agency and becoming a better decision-maker (Chapters 1-3). Understanding how human attention and sense-making works, so that we can self-guide, rather than be hacked by others - and more effectively turn our intentions into action.</li><li>Supra-human. Building systems that support us to choose well together. (Chapters 4-7). Humans are social creatures, who think aloud and together. It's a feature not a fault. Social networks, markets and institutions strongly enable us to achieve things we could never do alone, but also operate as ‘supra-human’ influences on our behavior. Yet individually and collectively we have power to channel and shape them too - more power than we realize</li><li>Super-human. Shaping the technology that will shape us. (Chapter 8) AI could be the ultimate ‘bicycle of the mind’, but it can also become a crutch rather than a coach. It poses opportunity and challenge - to boost our capabilities to superhuman levels, or to become our inadvertent master.</li><li>Future-human. What kind of humans do we ultimately want to be? (Conclusion) Our minds today have been shaped by the technologies and institutions of our ancestors, in ways they could not have anticipated. We can make choices that will alter our minds and those that follow: what shall we choose?</li></ul>

Magnetic Communication

When ChatGPT was launched in November 2022, it captured the imagination of the public as well as leading companies, including the banking sector. But as people explored ChatGPT they soon found flaws. Lawyers and judges realised they had relied on non-existent case law. Others discovered that ChatGPT claimed to be the author of books and articles that existed long before it was created. Despite these 'hallucinations', banks remain attracted by the claim that AI can answer and ask questions, generate text, draft emails and translate natural language to code. Customer relations have in some cases been improved by using this technology, thus cutting costs and improving productivity and profits. Drawing on original, candid interviews with senior figures in the sector, How AI will revolutionise banking analyses the risks and challenges to banks and their regulators, as well as proposed solutions to issues such as hallucinations. It offers a comprehensive, up-to-date account of this exciting new technology and what it means for the world of finance.

EU Data Law

This open access book critically analyses a wide range of consumer law issues generated or exacerbated by the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things challenges many of the dichotomies which have shaped current laws: goods-services, hardware-software, tangible-intangible, online-offline. The book focuses on 4 specific challenges: things-as-service, liability, bricking of physical devices through software control, and the potential for enhanced personalisation, especially for digital assistants. The chapters analyse specific applications such as smart homes, connected cars, and consumer wearables with a view to providing innovative solutions to the new challenges posed by the Internet of Things, and to steer the development of the Internet of Things in a fairer direction. As well as offering an important analysis of the potential for smart consumer laws in the Internet of Things, the book also provides important insights into the growing divergence between Germany's and the UK's consumer laws since Brexit. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by UKRI (Arts and Humanities Research Council) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Healthcare Horizons

The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing healthcare by enabling real-time patient monitoring, improving treatment outcomes, and reducing costs. Connected medical devices such as wearable sensors, smart insulin pumps, and remote patient monitoring systems collect continuous health data, allowing healthcare providers to track vital signs, detect anomalies early, and intervene proactively. By bridging the gap between patients and healthcare systems, IoT technology drives better health outcomes, enhances patient engagement, and creates more efficient, data-driven healthcare delivery models.Integrating IoT into Smart Healthcare Systems examines the challenges and benefits of IoT-based healthcare systems. It examines how IoT applications can improve diagnostics, patient experience, and healthcare outcomes. With an emphasis on patient care, the book looks at patient safety, maintaining confidentiality, and medical data protection. The book also appeals to health care practitioners by technology improving communication and diagnoses. Taking a broad perspective to include complementary technology, highlights of the book include:<ul> <li>Advancing electronic medical data protection through Blockchain innovation</li> <li>Enhancing patient care with machine learning-powered IoT solutions</li> <li>Real-time patient health tracking using AI-driven IoT infrastructure</li> <li>Ensuring reliable multimedia data transmission in IoT-based smart healthcare networks.</li> </ul>By addressing the requirements and interests of researchers, students, and professionals, the book focuses on benefits, obstacles, and best practices for integrating IoT into healthcare to provide useful insight and to share practical experience.

Integrating IoT into Smart Healthcare Systems

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

The Interdependencies of Transportation Security in Critical Infrastructure Protection

This book was written for new, existing, and aspiring plant managers as a practical guideline for understanding what it means to run a manufacturing operation. It clarifies the plant manager's role as the central coordinator of people, processes, equipment, and resources, helping readers grasp how these elements interact to create a safe, efficient, and profitable environment. For someone stepping into the role for the first time, this foundation reduces uncertainty and builds confidence by translating complex responsibilities into clear, manageable concepts.Beyond the basics, the book guides readers through the daily realities of plant leadership. It explains how to manage production flow, maintain equipment reliability, uphold quality standards, and ensure workplace safety, all while balancing cost, deadlines, and customer expectations. Existing plant managers benefit from structured frameworks and best practices that help them refine their approach, identify inefficiencies, and strengthen operational discipline. The goal is to elevate performance, not just maintain it.For aspiring plant managers, the book acts as a career development tool. It highlights the skills, behaviors, and leadership qualities that distinguish effective managers, such as communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and the ability to motivate diverse teams. By illustrating real-world scenarios and common challenges, it prepares future leaders for the pressures and responsibilities they will eventually face, giving them a head start on building the mindset required for success.Finally, the book ties all these elements together by emphasizing continuous improvement and strategic thinking. Manufacturing plants operate in a world of constant change, new technologies, shifting customer demands, and evolving workforce expectations. The book encourages readers to adopt a forward-looking perspective, showing how strong plant managers not only solve today's problems but also anticipate tomorrow's opportunities. In doing so, it becomes a long-term companion for anyone committed to running a plant that is resilient, competitive, and ready for the future.
